Hi, I am an applicant who applied for financial aid and submitted the FAFSA but does NOT expect to get or need any financial aid in order to attend. I am waitlisted at a few schools. Will simply checking the financial aid box hurt my chances of getting off the waitlist even though I would attend full pay?
No. They already have looked at your aid application and if you don’t qualify for aid with their formula, then that won’t need to be taken into consideration in getting you off the waitlist.
